Anker - Select 4 Go

Thank you for the recommendation. I'm enjoying the Soundcore Select 4 Go so far!

I just said screw it and am getting the select 4 go. I'd thought about taking my backpack with me everywhere anyway. This is my call to carry it everywhere now

I've had speakers which claim to be 10-30 watts, and by far none of those have compared to 2, 5 watt speakers I've owned, one being a "ProOne PSB4315 SK12", and the other a "soundcore select go 4", point is; power rating rarely indicates the quality, unless it's a good 5-10x the power

I use the Soundcore Select 4 Go. I use a carabiner to attach to my bike

I avoid click-bait titles, but having spent a lot of time with the newer Clip 5 and Go 4 from JBL, I was honestly shocked by how well the Select 4 Go performs comparatively, given its $29 price point. Build quality falls a little short of JBL, and the multi-speaker pairing isn't quite as extensive, but still - I've tested a fair amount of speakers, and I'd have a hard time recommending something else for a budget-focused buyer looking for something like the Go 4.

I traveled with the flip 6 the last years, but at the trips, it always seemed to big for the luggage / in the bags. I really like the Stormbox micro 2 design wise, even more since it can be used as a powerbank, but I got the soundcore select 4 go and I really like it (not the tribit mostly cause of its price, not that I couldn’t afford, but I don’t like to spend that much on a small speaker??). I wished the soundcore had the powerbank function too, but it’s half the price and at that difference, I’m not really willing to get the tribit instead?? and it is a really great deal for its price. It is loud as a personal speaker and with fitting equalizer settings in the soundcore app it sounds way bigger ( in its thump) at moderate volumes where I’m listening. Of course not meant for party, but still fitting for a little gathering or so, or when working some where else. For example, I was fixing my bike 3 days ago and hung it close by at ~ 30 % volume and it was nice background music and still easily hearable. If you don’t care about bass and it’s just about volume, I don’t think either of the small will do bad, cause all get loud, but if it’s about party bass for multiple peeps or yourself, you will need a physically BIG speaker

Well, considering decibel, 60 db at 1m distance is really quiet for what I consider a usable speaker. If measured the same way. I think most portables I know are in the range of a maximum of 83-90. This is cause 10db jump equals roundabout a doubling of the felt loudness. So 10 more is much (so, ~20db more at ~80 is waay louder) Are you planning to have your speaker outside of the shower? And a bit far away? Cause I would even consider my phone to be loud enough to use while lying next to my shower, so I would say get a good small one like soundcore select 4 go, that’s noticeably louder and thumpier than my phone, can be tweaked over the in app eq to your liking and is waterresitant so it could be placed next to you in the shower. If that’s not enough, i would choose a speaker with a 2-way setting (mid-woofer + tweeter) for more highs like the Sony ult field 1 oder Jbl flip 6. if it’s just for podcasts, I wouldnt go bigger than that cause i guess that mostly means just more bass, which might even be contraproductive since it might make it harder to understand vocals / speech.

If you need something that portable, it's about as good as it gets. There are a few competing models of a similar size that make slightly different tradeoffs, like the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, the Soundcore Select 4 Go, or the JLab Pop Party, but ultimately nothing that's fundamentally better, especially in areas that small speakers always struggle with, like bass response or volume.  If you're tight on budget, but flexible on size, you've got some interesting options like the Sony SRS-XB100, the Soundcore 3, or the JLab Go Party. Although the Go 4 is still a credible choice, especially if clear sound is more important to your than big sound.

I like my soundcore select go 4. Comparable size and custom eq. Sounds decent for the ~$22 on amazon

Decent but id rather buy soundcore select 4 go for the same price

My thoughts exactly ! I love the sound of the little thing and it is worth every penny all day !

In terms of Sound Quality The Soundcore X600 probably wins on this list but it's not portable. The Soundcore Go 4 is the best mini (pocketable) speaker The Bose Soundlink Flex 2 is the best Compact Speaker The Soundcore Motion + can make a great stereo Pair (if you buy two of them and an honourable mention goes to the JBL Flip 7) . My Personal Pick is the Soundcore X600 just because it has the "surround sound" feature. It works very well for my untrained ears. Anyways just buy one and use it for a week so you can determine what you think you need it for since you're so undecided, then return it for one that meets your needs.

The only thing with a smaller footprint that is still considered premium is probably the Bose micro. Another no brainer is the soundcore go 4. Not as good as the Bose but close enough but the bonus is it's dirt cheap and two paired in stereo to me at least sounds nicer than my uboomL and motion 300.

I own both speakers and JBL go 4 is smallest speaker compared to soundcore select 4 is little bit bigger in size

Second this. The soundcore select 4 go is good, but it isnt NEARLY as good as the tribit stormbox micro 2

I also uggest adding in the B&O A1 Gen. 2, which can be had for around $150 these days. I have a pair, and they're my go-to travel companions. They're a bit bigger than most pockets, though...unless you're into dad-style cargo shorts. I have the Select 4 Go and a pair of Stormbox Micro 2s that are damned good, so I think all of your choices are going to be okay.

Meh. The select 4 go is nothing special compared to a Bose of the same size.

C2d8 is spot on, especially since most BT speakers also include an EQ, where you can reduce bass frequencies and boost mids and treble. I'd also include the Soundcore Select 4 Go. I picked up a pair of Amazon for $19/each. The EQ they have would allow you to kill all bass and mid-bass, if that's what you wanted.

Considering you can get a Soundcore Select 4 Go for $20 (NEW), you'd miss out on a speaker with better sound quality and more volume than the JBL Go 4. The Soundcore Select 4 Go also has longer battery life. If it's available, you should check them out.

The 2 pack of the Soundcore Select 4 looked good too. The demo played them in stereo which looked really good.39.00 edited a typo

$20 is good enough for a small bathroom. Get soundcore select 4 go.

I picked up my 4 Go from Amazon on a recent sale (Feb) for $19 in the purple and gold colourway. It's a groovy-looking little speaker, with impressive sound for its size and cost. I may buy another one just to see how they compare paired versus my pair of Storm Box Micro 2s. Basically, I can get a pair of 4 Gos for the price of one Stormbox Micro 2.

Soundcore all day long

Oooh. I bought a "prime day" sale of the pair of Anker Select4 speakers that can be set up for wireless stereo, but these get better ratings on rtings, so I appreciate the heads up OP!

I have both the Soundcore Select 4 go and the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. If you need something louder(it’s really loud) with a bit better sound quality, the Stormbox Micro 2 is your best bet. I bought the Soundcore Select 4(TikTok shop for $10) and really like it. It gets decently loud and can fill up a quiet room to a good extent. The build quality is really nice and the water resistance works perfectly. I fully submerged it and it was fine(floats too). If you’re looking for something not too fancy then this is a good choice. Check out [speaker rankings](https://www.speakerranking.com/pocket-size/). It has more info than you will need.

Do yourself a favour and get 2 soundcore go 4's . Honestly paired in stereo they sound nicer than my Motion 300 and UBoomL and I paid £18 each .

You're better off with the Soundcore Select 4 Go. It's half the price and sounds better IMO.

Yes just received mine and I really like it.

Smaller and lighter than the Stormbox Micro 2 (I own a pair) isn't going to happen if you want anything approaching "listenable" sound. The JBL Go 4 is just "okay," but I think the Soundcore Select 4 Go is much better sounding (I also own one) for less cost.

I just received my Soundcore Select 4 Go and it sounds 25% louder than my iPhone and the bass is very deep and overall the sound quality is excellent. I like it and recommend it.

It'll be loud enough for him to hear it. However I'd suggest the Soundcore Select 4 Go. it's a bit bigger, cheaper, and better sounding IMO.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'm enjoying the Soundcore Select 4 Go so far!

Soundcore select 4 go. Kakalinis ko lang kasi super dugyot na. (Rugged speaker) Dalawa kasi kami gumagamit ako and si papa. Currently using it right now kahit di pa gnun ka tuyo. Watching 28 weeks later. SULIT OP, mura na and long battery life
